Biology:Prasiolales
Prasiolales is an order of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae.[1] Members of this order are ecologically widespread and are found in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats from the Arctic to the Antarctic.[2]
Morphological features include a single stellate, axial chloroplast with a central pyrenoid.[3] The ultrastructure of Prasiolales is unique and includes cells with four flagella, with their basal flagellar apparatuses in a counterclockwise orientation.[3][4] For a long time, its placement was uncertain and debated between Ulvophyceae and Trebouxiophyceae (also known as Pleurastrophyceae). Molecular data, however, have robustly supported its placement in the latter class.[2]
Traditionally the order contained a single family, Prasiolaceae. Molecular phylogenetics studies have found that coccoid algae of very simple morphology, such as Stichococcus, also belong to this order.[5]
Genera of uncertain placement to family include:[6]
- Edaphochlorella
- Pseudomarvania
